Due to my ignorance on the status of Ross's Goose, I gave the miss-impression that records for this species should be submitted to NYSARC. This is in fact incorrect and no reports are required for this species regardless of number. I was aware of the Greater White-fronted Goose status, but thought perhaps high numbers would be significant reason to have this documented, it is not. In fact, of all the geese observed this week in Orange County, only the Barnacle Goose requires documentation for NYSARC. My apologies for providing inaccurate information on the list serve.
